Hi Austin,
could you post the patch please?
So far there is no updated version of takusen that builds with ghc
6.10

Hi!
I'd like to use sqlite3 as application storage in my haskell project...
Browsing the available database options in Haskell it seems that:
a) HSQL is dead (hackage reports build-failure with 6.8 & 6.10)
b) haskelldb is also not in a good shape - build fails with 6.8 & 6.10
For Haskell-newbie as myself, it looks that haskelldb is the one which provide(ed)s the most secure API (I was reading draft paper about MetaHDBC but, apparently, the type inference support in open-source databases is poor and that's why, according to the author "This is unfortunately as it makes MetaHDBC a lot less valuable."
What remains is:
c)Takusenwhich is also not up-to-date (it fails with 6.10) and
d) HDBC and sqlite bindings which are the only packages which build with 6.10.
Have you tried the simple sqlite3 bindings available?http://hackage.haskell.org/cgi-bin/hackage-scripts/package/sqlite
I'm not familiar withTakusenwhich says: "Takusen'sunique selling point is safety and efficiency..." and I would appreciate if someone could shed some more light to its 'safety' and the present status?
Takusenis based on the (unique) concept of a left-fold enumerator. Having a left-fold interface guarantees timely (nearly perfect, really) deallocation of resources while still having the benefits of a 'lazy' stream. This interface has (as shown by Oleg and others) proven to be very efficient in a number of cases as well as favorable for many. The idea is very novel, and truly worth exploring if you ask me.
For more information about left-fold enumerators andtakusen, see here:

NB: I have *just* (about 5 minutes ago) sent in a patch fortakusen to get it to build on GHC 6.10.1 to Oleg. Hopefully an updated version will appear on hackage in the next few days.
